Has anyone replaced the parking brake cables on their 850? I have a 1993
and the cables seem to be binding, the parking brakes sometimes drag, are
balky.

Can get a pair of cables from local auto store, but no intructions in how to
install.

Thanks,

Mike

After you replace the cable, use it. The main reason for parking brake
cable seizing is lack of use.
